Maison Rubis

Imagine being able to stroll out for fresh croissants every morning to be enjoyed in your garden accompanied by the sound of church bells. Then, after a day out exploring this enchanting part of Provence, dip in your swimming pool before wandering out for an evening meal in a neighbouring bistro or café terrace.

At Maison Rubis you really are in the heart of a bustling village full of Provençal charm and authenticity. It’s a delightful 4-bedroom holiday home – walk into the hallway and down to the open-plan lounge and kitchen-diner, perfectly equipped with a feeling of home from home. French windows open out to the covered terrace with ample space for al-fresco dining by the outdoor plancha-grill.

The ground floor bedroom is a garden studio separate to the main part of the house, located just by swimming pool, whilst there are three further bedrooms on the first and second floor, each one featuring air-conditioning and a private bath or shower room. The bedrooms are comfortable, simply yet warmly styled and ideal for family or friends with a twin and three king-size beds (two of which can be split into twins).

Outside, alongside the shady terrace and little garden, there is a 7m long swimming pool with a decked surrounding, just right for cooling off on warm summer days.

Beyond your holiday home, embrace the authenticity of Maussane-les-Alpilles with its little shops, bistros and restaurant terraces on the main square just across the road which is especially atmospheric on summer evenings. Try some of the delicious products of the region at the Thursday morning market or by visiting local olive oil mills, wineries and farms producing honey, goats cheese and more gastronomic delights.

Drive to the picture-perfect hilltop village of Les Baux-de-Provence, only 4km away, follow the Van Gogh art trail in vibrant Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, admire the Roman amphitheatre in Arles or simply take long walks or cycle rides through the undulating landscapes of Les Alpilles with olive groves, woodland, farmland, rolling hills and the breathtaking limestone massif.
